The Big Break is an American golf reality competition series. Premiering on October 6, 2003, on Golf Channel, the series features aspiring professional golfers competing in various skills challenges for a chance to win a prize package, usually featuring a sponsor exemption for one or more tournaments and/or developmental tours. The series originally ran on Golf Channel for 23 seasons from 2003 through 2015, after which the series was cancelled amid cuts by Golf Channel's then-owner NBCUniversal. In October 2025, Golf Channel announced that The Big Break would be revived for a 24th season, in collaboration with the golf-oriented media company Good Good; the season was originally scheduled to premiere on August 25, 2026, but was withdrawn amid controversies involving Good Good and a resulting loss of sponsorship. Despite this, Golf Channel stated that it still planned to produce a new season of The Big Break in 2027. Contestants on each season of The Big Break include professionals on semi-professional tours as well as amateurs who aspire to play golf professionally. The contestants compete in a series of golfing challenges, such as hitting balls into scoring zones or targets, shooting closest to the pin, and H-O-R-S-E-like competitions among others. Each episode consists of three main challenges: the "Mulligan Challenge" is a competition that allows its winner to receive a mulligan that can be used in the second challenge—the "Skills Challenge". The winner of the skills challenge receives immunity during the elimination challenge, whose worst performer is eliminated from the competition. In the season finale, the final two contestants compete in a final match to determine the champion, who typically receives one or more sponsor exemptions for events on the PGA Tour, LPGA, and/or a developmental circuit (such as the LPGA's Futures Tour).
